in similar way; and hence the employment

A disposition cold as ice.

On questions orthodox

NO REASON IN LOVE.
The death of love is near at hand,
When love to logic doth resort;
And lovers seek to understand
Some reasonable way to court.
When PASSIONS ardors briefly pause
And impulse yields TO careful art;
Then truth will vanish from the cause
And mind may win, but not the heart.
They are the knaves who deity woo,
In shrewd and systematic way;
They parley only to undo
And every trusting maid betray.
